    It looks that way on the surface... Though I'm intrigued to find out what ideas Falvey has to tweak his game.
  2. Vanimal46
    Hosmer signs with the San Diego Dads. 8/$144 that's front-loaded. $20 MM AAV for the first 5 years, and $13 MM AAV for the last 3 years of the contract.

    I'm happy with this news. I'll gladly trade an A-level #20 org prospect for someone who can help in the majors right now. He's arb-eligible for 1 more year so it's not a rental either. Hopefully he returns to #3 starter performance this season and fix whatever went wrong for him last year.
  4. Vanimal46
    He allowed a 37.4% hard hit rate last year. It's going to be ugly. What are we hoping for here? Something better than Colon last year for 10 starts?
  5. Vanimal46
    Sigh... Yeah, it looks like they're going to ride the waiver wire carousel this year again. I don't have a strong opinion anymore about who to sign. Let's go after someone who had an ERA better than 5 last year.
  6. Vanimal46
    You can't aim any lower than what they did. Awful.
  7. Vanimal46
    #NeverForget Lackey would drive me crazy with his pace. I'd skip every one of his starts in some alternative universe where he is a Twin.
  8. Vanimal46
    Bummer for the fans.

    Even hockey is not that exciting without NHL players involved.

    Let me guess, the Athletic. Fangraphs has taken a ton of blows to their staff... Sad, really.
  11. Vanimal46
    They need 2 of those names IMO. I know your stance was top of the rotation pitcher or bust this off-season, and I desperately wanted one too. Now there's none left, and they still need 2 SP... Relying on Hughes and planning to skip the 5th pitcher is madness. Heading into the season with Hughes, Slegers, Jorge, or Gonsalves in the rotation from the get-go won't be pretty.

    Tough crowd for John Lackey...
  14. Vanimal46
    Arrieta and Lynn may ACTUALLY be the only 2 choices after the next couple of days... Jamie Garcia - signed with Toronto Jason Vargas - signed with NY Mets Chris Tillman - reportedly has multiple offers in hand Andrew Cashner - reportedly has multiple offers in hand

    SP Jason Vargas signs a deal with the New York Mets. Contract terms aren't posted yet on MLBtraderumors.com

    I appreciate pitchers like Gonsalves. He hasn't been able to get by on a 97 MPH fastball or a Wipeout slider throughout his life. He's had to learn how to adjust at every level, and so far he's been able to do it. I think it would do him a world of good to take things slow with him. I'd feel comfortable assessing the situation again after 15-20 more starts in AAA.
  18. Vanimal46
    Why would he give up his lucra.... thriv..... succes.... well, modestly paying music gigs in the southern CA area? Then again, it COULD be more entertaining watching him sing "Islands in the Stream" on the mound every 5th day than some of the alternatives!
  19. Vanimal46
    Over/under 2.5 "feeling great!" stories about Hughes from Twins beat writers in March?
  20. Vanimal46
    Fandom is very strange, Mike. We both think alike on this topic... I would hope everyone has lives outside of their daily work. There are far worse things to do in your free time than making music. Good for Gordon! I'm not rushing to buy his album, but I'm only one person on the planet! He could have fans.

    I'm broken and numb... School shootings happen too often that I can't even muster the proper anger, disgust, or sadness anymore.
  22. Vanimal46
    I mean honestly, some of these sports are as preposterous as farting around in snow... I just looked it up, the sport I was trying to describe is called Biathlon. I'm fascinated to know how someone realizes they're an Olympic-caliber biathlon athlete? And who recommended to them when they were young that was their best chance at success?
  23. Vanimal46
    Concur. I'm more of a fan of the summer olympics as far as the sports are concerned. Some of the winter sports are really far out there that it's confusing to watch. For example, I was watching it the other night and people had to cross country ski for a certain distance around a circle, then they stopped and shot at targets 5 different times throughout the event. I didn't get the point...

    In fairness, he only has himself to blame for being down on his luck or the chips are down, whatever you want to say about it.

    It's possible that his parents had aspirations of him being a romantic one day... Thus choosing Valentine's Day and saying "Meh, close enough."
